High School Engineering 1 – Co-ops & Classrooms Textbook (Ages 14–17)
Designed for high school students ages 14 to 17 with a passion for building, design, and problem-solving, this course dives deep into engineering principles across a variety of disciplines. Ideal for co-ops and classroom groups, students explore structural, civil, mechanical, biomedical, chemical, electrical, aerospace, and industrial engineering.
Students engage in team-based projects such as building wooden truss bridges, designing solar cars, constructing and soldering breadboard circuits, and building hydraulic arms. Before building, they study the scientific and mathematical theories behind each project. Projects are taken to failure to identify weaknesses and improve designs, reinforcing critical thinking and engineering analysis.
The course also emphasizes professional engineering skills including technical presentations, drafting with 3-view and isometric drawings, and understanding the Engineering Code of Ethics—all grounded in a Christian worldview.
Prerequisite: Algebra 1.

Course Description:
Students who pursue High School Engineering typically enjoy building and design. This can present itself as a love of electronics, programming, mechanics, creative drawing, or construction. Rather than running from these challenges, the engineering-inclined student embraces them.
This course will dig deeper into engineering principles and challenge students in the design process.
Some of the fields that will be explored are structural, civil, mechanical, biomedical, chemical, electrical, aerospace, and industrial engineering. The class will learn the basic principles in these disciplines and then build and design various projects. Students work in teams as they develop their designs just like in industry. Some examples of projects include wooden truss bridge, solar car, constructing breadboard circuits, soldering electronics, building a hydraulic arm, and much more. Students learn the mathematical and scientific theory before building, and they take most projects to failure to analyze the weaknesses. Students will get the opportunity to practice professional engineering presentation skills. Additionally, they learn to draft with both 3-view and isometric technical drawings. Students will learn the Engineering Code of Ethics alongside a Christian worldview.
